Two more perpetrators of election frauds
in st. Louis have been convicted and SEN
fenced, one getting one year in the county
Jail, and the other three months. Thanks to
the firmness of Judge Brewer, the political
atmosphere over there is being greatly puri-
fed. In passing sentence on these defendants
he said: "While it may be true, as counsel
for the defendant remarks, that there is a
feeling among many of almost indifference,
yet don't think that this is matter which
should influence the action of the court The
courts should not follow that feeling. 1t is
only when the courts constantly treat these
offenses as of serious nature that we can
expect all classes to so treat them" The fact
that election frauds are regarded by any body
as anything less than shocking crimes is an
evidence of moral decay which may well
arrest the attention of all good citizens. We
have already had occasion to commend the
attitude of Judge Brewer in these cases, and
we are glad to do it again.

"a EUROPEAN WAR.

The Schnabele incident may prove to be the
spark to fire the war-train between France
and Germany In itself, it is insignificant,
an accidental collision between few Germans
and Frenchman, knock down or two, a
foot-race and subsequent arrest. But just
such trivial incidents sometimes lead to war
between great powers, especially when they
are watching each other, and are ready to
fight small pretext. The provinces of
Alsace- Lorraine have been bone of conten-
ton between Germany and France for long
time, and are likely to be for a long time to
come or, at least. until they become so thor
oughly merged in one nationality or the other
that there can no longer be any reasonable
ground for dispute as to their natural status
Their peculiar geographical position has for
very many years made them a sort of battle
ground for France and Germany. Each
government has at different times tried to
oblterate the traces of the others rule
and language, and to make the provinces
a homogeneous part of its own empire, but
neither has succeeded. Alsace-L Lorraine re-
mains to-day divided in language, in national
characteristics and governmental preference,
part French and part German. Given Dor
der territory with such population, and with
only an imaginary dividing line between two
great and jealous powers, and collisions like
that resulting in the arrest of Schnabele are
pretty sure to happen occasionally. They
can be made a cause of war CT not. just as
either government pleases. In this case
Schnabele. French commissioner, is sent to
set up one of the posts marking the boundary
line. He is little too enterprising, gets over
the line, and is caught by some German police
in the act of stealing few yards of Germany's
sacred soil. A fsticuf ensues, and the French
man retreats to his own side of the line, but
is pursued seized, handcuffed and sent to
a military prison. The incident is trifing
so much significance that it has started new
food Of war talk and caused depression of
stocks in every money center of Europe. It's
Importance will depend on how it is treated
by the powers. If the arrest was the un-
authorized act of some superserviceable
official or if the German government for any
/ reason chooses to disavow it and express regret
for the occurrence that will end the matter,
| unless France insists on pushing it further.

premeditated and ordered for the express

is the only person who can interpret the
incident and on his construction depends the
question of peace or war. The seemingl,

THE FISHERIES DISPUTE.

The fisheries controversy has what might
local aspect relates to fish and bait, the other
to national honor. The strictly fish side of
the question interests very few people, only a
few New England fishermen and their neigh
bors. The question of national honor and
rights is very different and much larger. The
New England fishermen want certain rights
and privileges in regard to fishing, whether
we are entitled to them or not. They want
them as matter Of business, and are bound
to have them if they can. The rest of the
country only wants what is fairly ours under
treaty stipulations, and desires the controversy
settled on basis consistent with justice and
honor. Lord Salisburys proposition to our
government is TO revert to the old condition
of affairs under the Washington treaty, with
out pecuniary indemnity. AS the case stands,
the United States is bound by the finding of
the Halifax commission to pay Canada 3d.
800 900 ON account of former fisheries
award. Lord Salisbury proposes to waive this
award and resume the old relations under the
Washington treaty. This is equivalent to
saying let by-gones be bygones; you needn't
pay that $500, o00 and We will 60 back to
where we were. But that would not settle
ANYTHING, and would leave all the elements of
the controversy in active operation. Under
the Washington treaty the citizens of Canada
and the United States each had the
right to take fish anywhere along
the coasts OF both countries. to land
for the purpose of curing fish, and getting
supplies. and in short, to enjoy on both sides
the fishing privileges which each nation gave
to its own citizens The Halifax commission
decided, very unjustly, that this privilege was
worth So, 500 00o more to Americans than il
was to Canadians, and gave that award
against us. The award was excessive and
! unjust, but we can pay it. The fisheries con
/ troversy is not over that. Lord Salisbury
seems to think we are fighting over question
of money, instead of question of honor ant
| rights. Waving the award could not hell
matters for if the old relations were resumed
under the Washington treaty, the old trouble
would come up again. What is needed is

A VENEZUELAN aT,FAD,

The newly-appointed minister from Ven-
ezuela, Mr. ]. A. Olavarria, has arrived at
New York. He is wealthy banker at
Caracas, and has never held Office before.
His object in accepting the Office of minister
at this time is, if possible, to induce this gov
eminent to act as arbitrator in the pending
boundary dispute between England and Ven
ezuela From Senior Olavarria's statement
concerning the origin of the controversy, it
appears that in 1905 the British government
acquired portion of Dutch Guiana by cession
from the Dutch, extending on the west to
the River Esequibo an important stream
whose mouth is not far from the Orinoco.
The English government gradually took pos
session of the territory on both sides of this
river at the mouth, and also Of the territory
at its source, which Venezuela claims was not
included in the original concession. Later
they sent on an engineer to run line between
the two countries. His line encroaches far
upon Venezuela, and takes il valuable gold
LiueS, anu the important lSlanO OF barlma,
at the mouth of the Orinoco river. In 1850
an effort was made to negotiate the boundary,
and both countries agreed to keep out of the
disputed territory. Within a year the English
government has taken almost complete pos
session of it. According to Senior Olavarria's
statement the policy of the British govern
ment has been one of continued aggression
since it first obtained foothold at the mouth
of the Orinoco, and far-sighted Venezuelans
say if England is not checked now there is no
telling where her aggressions will end They
want the United States to act as arbitrator in
the case, because it is the leading power of
the Western continent, and entirely disinter-
ested. 1--WE look on the United States, says
Senior Olavarria, s'as the paternal power on
the Western continent. You are a business
people. Although you have now your home
| market to take up all your products, the time
will come in ten or fifteen years when you
will probably produce more than you can con
sumo. Then you will want this Southern
market. If England has it, you cannot have
it." This is somewhat in the nature OIL
diplomatic taffy, and yet it has substratum
| of sound reason.

Contemplate "Journalism."

New 1oIk Evening POst-
We cannot recall, even among the lowest grade
of newspapers in this country, worse bit of
Journalism" than that in which the London
Times has been INDUCING towards Parnell
There could hardly be more striking indication
of the temper of the Conservatives towards the
Irish than its readiness throw overheard all its
traditlons-w will not say of fair play for it
never was very fair newspaper-but of dignity
and decency, in dealing with the leader of the
Irish party. The production of a damaging
charge of doubtful authenticity on the eve of an
important vote, SO late that the person il is in
tended to damage may not have time to disprove
It, is old campaign dodge with which we are
vary familiar here. But the Times, it is but
Justice to say, has for at least half a century
made specially, the saying is, of refraining
from this sort Of thing This is
however, hardly the worst feature IN the
affair. The tone of brutal insolence in which
the charge is made and stuck to brings out one
of the worst traits in tie English character
which the Times, even in days when it was very
abusive, has been wont to keep in the back
ground. The way it gives Parnell the lie when
he pronouuces the letter forgery and calls on
him to prove a negative--that is that he did not
write it-whe refrainng itself from producing
anything in support of its uthentlcty except the
editors assertion, is a bad sign of degeneration
in English politics. For, it must be remembered
all this is done for the dedication of what is
called 1.-The educated class, that is, the wel-to-
do and cultivated people There is some con-
ISOLATION in remembering however, that though
the brutal element in English politics still ex-
lists successful brutality is no longer possible.
The weight of reason and conscience has become
overwhelming. Bullies cannot have their way
as they used to have It, or at least for long.

THE following is thought worthy of wiring
from Washington to the New York Herald:
"a lady who has been clerk in the Treas
ury Department for twenty-four years saws
that not only are the methods of this admins
tration clean in a political sense, but there
has been vast improvement as to cleanliness
in the sense that housekeepers use the word
The sidewalks outside the public buildings
are swept more regularly, and the corridors
within are kept neater than ever before"
This beautiful testimony, from so compe-
tent and disinterested source, as to the
great reforms that are being accomplished by
the administration ought to cause thrill of
joy in every mugwumpian heart. When we
can be assured that the spittoons are more
thoroughly cleansed than ever before we shall
feel that Democratic reform is not barren
ideality.
